Sermon

Josh was the first to arrive at Sunday School. He was excited because he and Karla had gotten their older half sister to agree to come as well. This meant that they would each receive a special eraser as a prize for bringing a friend. They had baited her by telling her that she would be allowed to visit the dogs after Sunday School....

In the afternoon we held our monthly meeting at the CCC. It was good and sad to chat a bit with Edie. She chats away, all friendly, and then interrupts by asking “Excuse me, but who are you?” She has become very frail, and can no longer walk without leaning on someone’s arm.

Arthur’s sermon went very well. A sermon crit class would have found a few areas where he could polish it up a bit, but for the hearer, the main impression was that he was speaking from his heart. I am still mulling over the way he applied Hosea’s story to us and to our relationship with God, and then to His relationship with us. It is all about relationships.

Steve and Maureen came over to the manse for a cuppa after the service. It is good to have them back again – especially to have Steve back behind the organ for the services.
